I think we all here at HN will inevitably underestimate the impact of putting GPT into Bing. We may have been playing with GPT for years, but it has just been gift-wrapped and delivered to hundreds of millions in their default Windows browser. I’m expecting it to blow grandma’s mind.

Indeed, I was looking at the list of features and frankly it makes you want to use Edge + Bing as it removes the friction from going to the ChatGPT website entirely. You can ask it to write your LinkedIn posts, define itineraries, translate, etc... all with a simple natural language interface.

I'm going to have to set up a windows VM again - this could definitely pull a lot of technical folks back to Windows.

This is undeniably cool and impressive, but, I think proceeding down this research path, at this pace, is quite irresponsible. The primary effect of OpenAI's work has been to set off an arms race, and the effect of that is that humanity no longer has the ability to make decisions about how fast and how far to go with AGI development. Obviously this isn't a system that's going to recursively self-improve and wipe out…

Edge is available on macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.

Disclaimer - I work at Microsoft

They put a lot of work into the research to make this safe already - they had the model red team itself, in a reinforcement learning environment probably. It won't be perfect, but at this point, they need a huge user base to adversarial test it any further. Otherwise no progress at all would be made.

edit - I should say I have no internal knowledge about this.

Is this live? When will it be available?

No, it’s not live yet. From The Verge live blog: “Microsoft will roll out this new Bing interface globally but slowly. Sounds like it will be a preview or beta initially.”

UPDATE: "One final piece of news to share." New Bing is live today for desktop in a "limited preview." Everyone can try a limited number of queries and sign up for full access today. Millions of people in the coming weeks as well as mobile version.

From the Verge's liveblogging (https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23588249/microsoft-event-a...)

"This is an important part of the presentation, but I just want to note that Microsoft is having to carefully explain how its new search engine will be prevented from helping to plan school shootings.

"Early red teaming showed that the model could help plan attacks" on things like schools. "We don't want to aid in illegal activity." So the model is used to act as a bad actor to test the model itself."

If ChatGPT is still susceptible to simple prompt engineering attacks like DAN, I don't feel confident that their safety system is actually going to be robust enough to prevent malicious use.
